| Project Description |
| Additional/Description Justification |
| The University's current parking problems for both resident and commuter students will be acerbated as enrollment increases. Increased enrollment is a top priority for the University and the ability to accommodate both traditional and nontraditional students is a necessity. Not having adequate parking is greatly affecting the University's ability to attract new students. |
| During peak hours (10 a.m. to 3 p.m.), students and visitors have few options for accessible parking. With limited space in the campus core, a structure rather than surface parking on the campus boundary is the requested approach, which is similar to other institutions. |
| The University is reviewing options for a fee-based funding plan and grant funding. The Baker Hostetler Report stresses the critical nature of attracting students and retaining them. This project is critical to the institution's ability to fulfill this requirement. |

| --Project Measurements - Construction of a new four story 500 car parking structure with elevator and security office. Office and storage space will be 1,380 square feet with parking space of 126,000 square feet. |
| This project will enhance students accessibility to the central campus, while accommodating facilities for the University's steady, yet increasing, client-group, community organizations and State agency events that have extensive parking requirements. |
| --Site - In accordance with the KSU 2008 Master Plan the site is near the Main Campus Entrance adjacent Exum center and Julian Carroll Academic Service Building. Based on the current trend, this is the preferred siting option. Its location will directly allow access to the Academic Services Building where Financing and Registrar are located. Also, events held in the Exum Center will be served. Additionally the state Governmental Services Center which offer training to state employees is located in ASB. |
| --Prior Planning and/or Design - This structure will begin to alleviate the parking shortage identified in the 1996 Campus Master Plan that continues to be a problem today. This problem will be exacerbated by the increase in major assembly functions that will take place both in the Bradford Hall Auditorium (900 seats) and in the newly renovated Student Center Ballroom (500 seats). KSU 2008 Master Plan Update stresses the need to move parking away from campus center and toward its perimeter. |
| --Relationship to Other Prior Projects(s) - N/A |
| --Economic Development Impact - Additional study is required to fully determine the economic impact of such a parking structure. It is certain that service to outside community organizations and to the various State agencies requiring meetings in Frankfort, provides KSU with the opportunity to better fulfill these needs, since many of the organizations/agencies call on the University to host these |
